Do you like plants and or RPGs? 1 day left to fund #PlantGirlGame a cozy tabletop roleplaying game about a family of plant children working together to prevent ecological disaster in their small town

Corn smut, caused by the fungus Ustilago maydis

Also called Zombie Corn (by me and maybe two other people) 🧟‍♂️

An example of the fungus Bryomyces velenovskyi on the moss Pleurozium schreberi where just a single leaf is severely infected and the rest are healthy.

Some great Myxomycetes! Myxomycetes are not fungi but have traditionally been studied by mycologists!

[MycoFun @MycoFun]

Documenting fungi on places like @inaturalist can be helpful for all sorts of science and agriculture! If you’re near an herbarium that can help with vouchering that is another excellent activity!

After finding the rare witches cauldron fungus in the northern most bogs of Minnesota, we now know WHAT is inside the cauldron. Serpentine hyphae!

[Robert Blanchette @forestmycology]

Great samples from @EClemensOtto of eastern gall rust to add to the teaching collection - both pycnia and aecia are now out in Minnesota.

[Coastal and Marine Mycology @marinemycoholic.bsky @MarineMycology]

Adapting to a new environment - *Aquatic* and Marine Mycology class coming in Fall '22 in landlocked NY.

What are some good ways to introduce #FreshwaterFungi into this class?
